Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a barley tea kettle (kettle), and its purpose is to make it possible to efficiently cool down the hot barley tea in the barley tea kettle with a small amount of water that falls from the tap. .

Part of the purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the processing of the lid and to eliminate areas where water scum and the like can easily accumulate.

First, the structure of a conventional barley tea kerator will be explained with reference to FIG.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes the main body of a barley tea kerator, which has a spout 2 with an outward hemline on its upper end.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a tea strainer having a large number of small holes, which fits into the inner periphery of the spout 2 with a slight gap, and the hem 4 at the upper end is in contact with the hem of the spout 2.

5 is a hollow chevron-shaped lid, and a solid knob 7 is attached to the center of the upper surface with a bolt 8 through a space f6.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an annular, substantially horizontal step portion curved inward from the outer peripheral edge of the lid 5, and 10 represents a cylindrical portion (leg) projecting downward from the inner peripheral edge of the step portion 9. The step portion 9 is a tea strainer. The cylindrical part 10 is placed on the edge wrapping part 4 of the tea strainer 3, and the cylindrical part 10 is fitted to the inner periphery of the tea strainer 3 with a slight gap.

11 is a steam hole provided in the lid 5, 12 is barley tea, 13 is a faucet,
14 is a basin and 15 is water.

The main body 1, tea strainer 3, and lid 5 can all be press-formed from thin sheets of aluminum alloy, and the spacer 6 and clamp 7
is molded from a hygienically harmless resin, such as phenolic resin.

In the conventional barley tea keratle shown in FIG. 1, the cylindrical part 10 of the lid 5 fits into the inner periphery of the spout 2, so when cooking barley tea, water droplets adhering to the bottom surface of the lid 5 are shown by arrow A. However, it is difficult to open the lid 5 lightly in the direction of arrow B using the fitting part with the mouth 2 as a fulcrum, and the steam vent 11 is essential in the lid 5, If you want to drop water on 7, of course, place the lid 5 away from the knob 7.
Also when dropping water as shown by arrow C above, steam vent 1
This is not preferable because water enters into the main body 1 through the gap between the opening 1 and the lid 5 and the opening 2.

The above problem can be avoided if the water is dropped onto the shoulder of the main body 1 as shown by the arrow, but the entire annular portion of the width L1 exposed above the water surface of the tub 14 can be used for heat exchange. This results in a lot of wasted water.

Since the structure of the lid 5 is complicated, not only is productivity low and the cost high, but also water particles and the like tend to accumulate in the narrow annular gap 16 between the main body of the lid 5 and the step 9, which is unfavorable from a sanitary standpoint. .

Machining the steam holes 11 also takes time and effort.

Furthermore, since the knob 7 is solid, its weight increases, and since the coat 5 with increased internal steam pressure does not rise easily, the steam hole 11 must be made larger, making it easier for dust and the like to enter.

Since the feet 10 are immersed in the barley tea 12, the feet 10 interfere with the convection of the hot water, which not only reduces the efficiency, but also
There is also a risk that the hot water that hits the device may flow down the legs 10 and spill out from between the lid 5 and the main body 1.

This invention consists of a hollow chevron-shaped lid that is attached to the mouth at the top end of the Kerator body, a foot that protrudes downward from the outer periphery of the lid and fits into the outer periphery of the mouth, and a foot that is fixed to the center of the top surface of the lid and extends around the entire circumference of the bottom. A multi-hole water tray attempts to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by providing a cup-shaped knob and an annular groove with a drip cut on the lower surface close to the inner periphery of the mouth, as shown in Fig. 2. An example is shown below.

Like the spacer 6, the knob 17 in FIG. It has eight holes 19 equally spaced.

Therefore, the faucet 13 is placed directly above the knob 17 and the recess 18
When water falls inside, the water is dispersed in all directions by the holes 19 and spreads on the spacer 6 and lid 20 in a continuous film.

Short cylindrical legs 21 are smoothly curved and protrude downward from the outer periphery of the lid 20, and these legs 21 are loosely fitted to the outer peripheries of the hem 4 of the tea strainer 3 and the mouth 2 of the main body 1.

An annular groove 22 is provided in the lid 20 close to the inner circumference of the spout 2, and the lower end of the groove 22 protrudes downward to a position lower than the upper edge of the hem 4 of the tea strainer 3, forming a drip cut 23. are doing.

The lower surface of the lid 20 between the droplet cutter 23 and the foot 21 contacts the hem wrap portion 4 all around, and the main body 1 is placed at a higher position than the droplet cutter 23.
is blocked.

Water droplets adhering to the lower surface of the lid 20 when cooking barley tea flow down along the lower surface of the lid 20 and drip into the barley tea 12 from the drip cutter 23.

When the steam pressure inside the guttle increases, the lid 20 is lifted in the direction of arrow B using the joint with the mouth 2 as a fulcrum, and the steam easily escapes through the wide gap between the lid 20 and the main body 1.

When cooling barley tea, from the faucet 13 to the recess 18 of the knob 17
Drop water inside.

Then, the water in the recess 18 flows out from the many holes 19 in a generally evenly distributed manner in all directions, flows down in the form of a film over the spacer 6 and the lid 20, passes through the groove 22 and the foot 21, and then flows over the entire shoulder portion of the kerator body 1. Enter the tub 14 while getting wet.

Therefore, the entire annular portion of the width L2 exposed above the water surface of the tub 14 becomes a heat exchange surface.

As explained above, in the present invention, the water receptacle 17 is shaped to serve as a cup, and a large number of holes 19 are provided around the entire circumference of the bottom, so that the water received by the recess 18 is transferred to the entire upper surface of the lid 20. The water is uniformly dispersed and poured into a film to wet the entire shoulder of the keratrule with a width L2 exposed above the water surface of the tub 14, and heat exchange is performed in that area as well, effectively cooling the barley tea with a small amount of water. be able to.

Since the legs 21 provided on the outer periphery of the lid 20 fit into the outer periphery of the spout 2, even if cooling water is poured onto the lid 20, there is no fear that water will enter the Gutsuturu, and the taste of the barley tea will not change. do not have.

Remove water droplets that adhere to the bottom surface of the lid 20 while cooking barley tea.
In part 3, Shizuku is returned to Guttle, and there is no longer any fear that Shizuku will come out of Kerator.

In addition, since the legs 21 of the lid 20 fit into the outer periphery of the mouth 2 and the knob 17 is lightweight, when the internal steam pressure increases, the lid 20 tilts slightly in the direction of arrow B and is removed from the gap between it and the main body 1. Since the steam escapes easily, no steam hole is required in the lid 20.

Since the structure of the lid 20 is simplified, productivity is improved and the lid 20 is inexpensive, and the lid 20 is hygienic because there is no place where water scum can easily accumulate, such as the conventional gap 16 (FIG. 1).

Since the drip cutter 23 does not penetrate below the water surface unlike the conventional foot 10 (FIG. 1), there is no risk of interfering with the convection of hot water and no boiling over occurs.

In addition, the barley tea kerat/shield according to the present invention can be used for cooling other than barley tea, and can also be used for applications that do not use the tea strainer 3.
